In my journey to eat less, I have messed up many times. Every time I feel my clothes getting tighter, I feel ashamed for overeating and gaining weight. I have fallen many times and will probably do it again. I need to keep seeking God to stay on track. Ephesians 2:4-5 is, “But God, who is rich in mercy, because of his great love that he had for us, made us alive in Christ even though we were dead in trespasses. You are saved by grace!” Holy Bible, Christian Standard Bible, 2017 I am grateful to serve my merciful Lord. He doesn’t keep track ofRead More →

It is easier to continue living with bad habits than trying to develop better ones. Ever since COVID changed everything 3 years ago, I have not written regular posts. When I was forced to stay home, I spent time seeking news instead of reading God’s Word. Going back to work and facing Coronavirus stresses gave me more excuses. Three years later, I am not back in a routine of writing. Matthew 6:33 is, “But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.” Holy Bible, New International Version, 2011 When I seek the Lord, He guidesRead More →

Halloween is almost here. This past week, I have eaten more candy than I had in the past 5 months. My stomach is complaining.

Since I started my day Jesus, I did not think to seek Him later in the day. Without God by myRead More →

I can’t believe that it is already October. The school year is speeding by and I have not updated this blog since August. My eating has been fine, except for a few slips. Emotional eating, or stuffing my problems with excessive food, is a habit I am working to break. I have made progress, but I occasionally fail. Stress will never go away, so I must seek something other than food to comfort me. Isaiah 55:2 is, “Why spend your money on food that does not give you strength? Why pay for food that does you no good? Listen to me, and you will eatRead More →

I started healthier habits over the summer like cooking meals with real ingredients instead of using packaged foods. Since I was not working, I found time to exercise regularly. Now that I am back in school, I face temptations to stress eat. My weekly workouts average is 1.5 for this month. I don’t want my healthy routine to end. Proverbs 16:3 is, “Commit your actions to the Lord, and your plans will succeed .” Holy Bible, New Living Translation, 2018 When God guides my goals, I will succeed. He desires me to walk with healthy habits. Jesus gives me to strength to pass on snacksRead More →
